501 Punti di Design: Italian Graphics Dock in New York
24-25 may 2006
A grid of 20 x 25 numbered points + one point out of a group, a space with hundreds of the same posters, 10 designers, 5 topics and the public. 501 PUNTI DI DESIGN, after three editions: Milan Design Week (Milan April 2005), Dinamismi Museali (Soneria Mannelli (CZ) August 2005) and ArteFiera (Bologna January 2006), goes to New York.
Ministero della Grafica, an association that promotes and supports visual communication as a strategic discipline, has involved Italian and New York graphic designers in this event, inviting them to design whatever their imagination suggests on a grid of 501 points logos, icons, writing. The result is a combination of numbers that trace the thought images on themes of Passion, Italian Spirit, Design, Belief and Fear.
A drawing pen and a code will be the public's tools with which we will invite them to trace the hidden images between the almost infinitive possibilities offered by the 501 points on the grid, dynamically creating an exhibition of oneself.
The website, www.501puntididesign.org, expands the exhibition outside the physical space and connect the surfers realtime. An interactive poster lets the visitors draw their artwork and see other people works in the exact time they are created. Every user is identified by a specific color and tagged by its geolocation and by the computer local time and the Greenwich shift. The web site will be projected by video during the exhibition, creating a wonderful interactive experience.
From April and during the exhibition, it will be possible connect to www.501puntididesign.org and play on-line with an interactive poster and simultaneously play with other people on the internet and with the person at the exhibition in a multi-customer dimension. The web site will be projected by video during the exhibition, creating a wonderful interactive experience. The studios involved: Zetalab, Leftloft, Studio FM, Husmann Benincasa, Luciano Perondi - Molotro, Studio Limbo, Marko Simic, Air Studio plus 2 New York guests.
